Adult Learn to Row
This program is for adults interested in learning the basic techniques and styles of sculling and sweep rowing. The program is a low impact sport available to adults of all athletic levels. Each monthly Learn to Row session consists of four weeks of rowing three nights per week. The twelve day program includes both instruction on land and learning basic rowing technique on the water. On water activities are dependent on weather and river conditions. After completing the basic four week program, those interested in continuing to row can take a second Learn to Row session or advance to one of our regular adult rowing programs, at the discretion of the coach.
